I have carefully analysed recent events and taken time to study a lot of what happened before during and after the Biafran war.

The truth is that if the Igbos succeed in pulling out of Nigeria, the Niger Delta might not completely be part of the new country but they will definitely also seek to be on their own and manage their resources. This would effectively leave only thge SW and the North in Nigeria. If it turns out this way, the Yorubas most likely would also gently ask to be left to be on their own. At the end of it all, we go our separate ways.

Let me quickly add here that Igbo land is much bigger than the Nigerian politically defined SE. Should Nigeria break today, all Igbo-speaking parts of the SS will be part of our new country. The Igbos will force no tribe to be part of us, we will accept those that want to stay with us and those that don't want to be with us will be free to stand on their own or join any other groups they so wish. I am saying this loud and clear so that some people will not come here and start shouting, "We are not part of your Biafra, leave us alone, leave our oil alone."

The Igbos can do very well without oil. There are many countries in the world without oil and are doing very fine. Germany is the most powerful economy in Europe today and they don't have a cup of crude oil there. Israel moved into a desert and converted it into a country very comfortable for habitation. The list is endless. Recent trends have also shown that oil is becoming worthless by the day. What really matters for a nation to be great is the quality of human resources available.

For the parts of the SS that would choose to be part of the new country, we can accept to run a regional system of government between the core Igbo states and parts of the Niger Delta. We can even accept a solution such that both regions would take 80% of revenue accrued within the regions and contribute 20% to the center. This the Niger Delta can never get in this present Nigeria.

For those people from the SS always shouting leave our oyel, I want to tell you that the Northerners are already drinking your oil and have even become drunk on it. You are shouting at Igbos to leave your oyel whereas Northerners are taking the same oil from under your nose and you can do nothing. How myopic and sentimental can some people be?

On a closing note, I believe in one Nigeria but one where there is justice, fairness & equity. For me, Buhari should hand over to an Igbo man if Igbos are truly part of Nigeria. We are part of the big three and too big to be ignored.

You only probe your immediate predecessor, thus it was GEJ responsibility to probe obasanjo, but since he didn't thats his problem.
so PMB knock yourself out.
Just make sure GEJ doesn't get any special treatment while in prison.
You are spot on here. Why should PMB probe the OBJ administration? Why didn't GEj do that? Besides PMB has to look into all these allegations of irregularities in the immedite past regime. Or do they want him to sweep under the carpet? We Nigerians also want to know how things got this bad in order to avoid making the same mistakes in the future.

Which good political calculations did the yorubas do that gave them the presidency?

Obasanjo in 1979 got to power by luck after Mohamed's assasination.20 years later he was returned to the presidency by the north(against the wish of majority yorubas) so whither the so-called yoruba political sophistication

There is no harm in campaigning towards achieving your objective.

You are shouting at Igbos to leave your oyel whereas Northerners are taking the same oil from under your nose and you can do nothing. How myopic and sentimental can some people be?

Is this meant to incite the Niger Deltans against the Northerners? May be that is the intention otherwise even if your accusation is true what is the percentage of those people compared to the entire population of the North? Less than 0.001% and because of that you want to incite the SS against the North? What kind of political strategy is this? or should I say hate campaign?

On a closing note, I believe in one Nigeria but one where there is justice, fairness & equity. For me, Buhari should hand over to an Igbo man if Igbos are truly part of Nigeria. We are part of the big three and too big to be ignored.

No. Actually justice, fairness and equity warrant that Buhari should handover to anyone from any part of the country that win the election. And if you want that person to be an Igbo, which by the way I have no objection against, then you should rather campaign for him/her across the whole country. However I must tell you the truth that by the end of Buhari's tenure we are going to vote for a Yoruba man not because we hate Igbo or anyone but because the hate campaign against the North by your people has turned the entire North politically against you.

There is nothing wrong for us to disagree on any issue but when you continue to curse and abuse us and inciting other regions against us, as we see in the social media, thinking that we will give in to your threat and blackmail then we will show you our stand on the polling day.

If GEJ did not deem it responsible to probe those he took over from, how is that Buhari's headache?

If his supporters have any shame they would do their best not to make their principal look more daft and utterly irresponsible as the whole world know him to be.

Buhari will probe the regime that handed over to him. Jonathan would learn to do his own job in his next life.

which rule has it that buhari should probe only the last regime that handed over to him?. None
which rule also has it that buhari should probe other past regime? ...none

If he is probing Jonathan alone, he is doing it based on personal sentiment not based on logic..

Now, I want to ask you sincerely, will probing only Jonathan's regime curb corruption in Nigeria ?

Can you honestly say that only Jonathan is corrupt among all our politicians?.

when JJR in Ghana wanted to carry Justice, did he select his immediate successor or it included all corrupt politician in ghana ?.

There is nothing that destroys a Nation more than Selective Justice, if justice must be done, it has to be thorough.

of what use is justice when out of 5 criminals, only 1 is being brought to book and the others are roaming the street happily

God bless you, but if buhari should handover to an igbo man, he would likely handover to rochas okorocha whose mother is a fulani from the sokoto ruling family and is well known to be atleast a marginal Muslim. he had built many mosques in the north and his first if not only completed project was to build a mosque at the imo state government house even though no government official there is a Muslim. his candidacy would be rejected by the igbo but the north and southwest would push him through using underaged almajiri voters if not outrightly rigging it. the old eastern and Midwest region have no future in Nigeria, the war was fought for oil and it's d only thing that is holding this nation together.

rochas is our kith and kin and we know him too well

personally i hate people who who are conmen

rocahs is not a liberalist or nationalist

he is a man who has excessive self belief and feels he iis wiser than everyone else

uet his wisdonm is not empowering anyone in imo except his family and ilaw who make up his government

he wants to be president through calculated gestures rather than through character

i what should be key for every nigerian is a just countrty where every region is given its due and allowd to develop at its pace

an igbo presidency, like the yoruba presidency of obasanjo will not improve the lot of anyone from the ruling region

I have carefully analysed recent events and taken time to study a lot of what happened before during and after the Biafran war.

The truth is that if the Igbos succeed in pulling out of Nigeria, the Niger Delta might not completely be part of the new country but they will definitely also seek to be on their own and manage their resources. This would effectively leave only the SW and the North in Nigeria. If it turns out this way, the Yorubas most likely would also gently ask to be left to be on their own. At the end of it all, we go our separate ways.

Let me quickly add here that Igbo land is much bigger than the Nigerian politically defined SE. Should Nigeria break today, all Igbo-speaking parts of the SS will be part of our new country. The Igbos will force no tribe to be part of us, we will accept those that want to stay with us and those that don't want to be with us will be free to stand on their own or join any other groups they so wish. I am saying this loud and clear so that some people will not come here and start shouting, "We are not part of your Biafra, leave us alone, leave our oil alone."

The Igbos can do very well without oil. There are many countries in the world without oil and are doing very fine. Germany is the most powerful economy in Europe today and they don't have a cup of crude oil there. Israel moved into a desert and converted it into a country very comfortable for habitation. The list is endless. Recent trends have also shown that oil is becoming worthless by the day. What really matters for a nation to be great is the quality of human resources available.

For the parts of the SS that would choose to be part of the new country, we can accept to run a regional system of government between the core Igbo states and parts of the Niger Delta. We can even accept a solution such that both regions would take 80% of revenue accrued within the regions and contribute 20% to the center. This the Niger Delta can never get in this present Nigeria.

For those people from the SS always shouting leave our oyel, I want to tell you that the Northerners are already drinking your oil and have even become drunk on it. You are shouting at Igbos to leave your oyel whereas Northerners are taking the same oil from under your nose and you can do nothing. How myopic and sentimental can some people be?

On a closing note, I believe in one Nigeria but one where there is justice, fairness & equity. For me, Buhari should hand over to an Igbo man if Igbos are truly part of Nigeria. We are part of the big three and too big to be ignored.
Good analysis there but I can deduce that you are among those with little or nothing outside the eastern part of the country and as a result have nothing to protect.

OBJ got to be president because of Koffi Annan and co, the north was weak, heck the whole country was weak past Abacha , Abacha dare I say was the least tribalistic president Nigeria has ever had, even put the likes of Jackie boy to shame , he was all about his money and power
